Is It Safe to Eat This Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough?
Yes, it is totally safe to eat this edible snickerdoodle dough.
But while we are on the topic, let’s take a minute to discuss exactly why you should opt to eat an edible cookie dough rather than eat raw cookie dough.
For starters, raw cookie dough contains raw egg. As you know, eating raw eggs is linked to several health complications through the introduction of harmful germs. But it doesn’t stop there. What many people don’t know is that raw flour poses a risk too, as flour that is uncooked harbors the same germs.
So, what can be done?
If you want to enjoy edible cookie dough, it is recommended that you use an eggless heat treated flour recipe, like the one detailed below.
Don’t have heat treated flour? No worries! Heat treated flour isn’t typically something you buy, but rather, something you make for use in food items like edible dough.
